First appearing in Swamp Thing v2 #37 in 1985, John Constantine is a streetwise British magician, detective, and former punk rocker. Eventually he became popular enough to star in his own Vertigo series, Hellblazer, which they made a shitty movie out of starring Keanu Reeves (don't watch the movie, it sucks). Hellblazer is Vertigo's longest - running title, and the only one from its launch that has been continuously published. I've recently read the entire run of it, and I have some scans here for this respect thread.

(Note: As this is a Vertigo comic, many of these scans involve explicit scenes, such as foul language, adult situations, and nudity. I've used MSPaint to censor the nudity when possible, so don't complain bout scans being edited, I only did it in order to observe the forum rules).

I'll divide this respect thread into sections based on different types of abilities/scans.

Great thread.

Endless Mike Sqirrel Girl fanboy

FotF = First of the Fallen, I explained who he was in the thread

The First of the Fallen, who is basically the Devil (different character from Lucifer Morningstar, though) admits that John Constantine is his most formidable adversary.

For more info, apparently when Lucifer was cast down to Hell, this guy was already there. You can say he was one of the Presence's earlier creations, possibly. Although Lucifer is stronger than he is he is still incredibly powerful.

Thank you for this. I usually don't look in Respect Threads, but I was lucky to find this. Thanks for this.

AlmightyKfish This Is No Longer A City.

Just a couple of cool things I thought to upload after reading most the Hellblazer and some of the other Constantine stuff-

Goes to show how impressive John's standing in the magical world is and how magical people/creatures view him, considering they were all willing to take on Zatanna to get to Tim yet stopped dead when Constantine showed up.

Once John knows where the guy is he's able to disrupt his TV, explode a light bulb and speak telepathically to the guy in his flat whilst from the centre of London.

Does John have any current feats? From the past 2 years?

Enters a room in the House of Mystery and bars the door with 'Seven Seals'. Evidently this spell is powerful enough for John to boast: "God himself couldn't have gotten in." Aside from that, John was able to force-summon(and imprison) every member of the Trinity of Sin with 12 hours of prep:

Evidently some wacky f*cking rituals were involved in the above.

Although the ToS were able to break free of their imprisonment, the fact that Constantine was able to do this at all is remarkable:

Enchants Pandora's knife with a 'breath spell' potent enough to kill Sea King(despite the fact that he was merged with ALL the magics of the Nan Madol at the time.) John then removes the last remnants of Sea King's consciousness and imprisons Deadman's essence in his body:

Yeah, DCnU Constantine is currently the best at using magic these days. He's an absolute BEAST.

You should also post that Deadman couldn't possess Constantine. In one of the earlier issues of Justice League Dark.

Frankly, it is astounding that Deadman was unable to affect John at all, given the laundry list of uber beings he's possessed in the DCnU thus far.

Thinking back at those old stories, why do they have Enchantress as a member of JLD? Wasn't she the big villain? lol
